WAMPserver DNS is Not Working for Virtual Hosts
I set up a virtual host for my laravel project, and while I can access the site via IP I cannot access it by domain name (it redirects me to WAMPserver's homepage). For reference I'll provide both relevant screenshots and code excerpts:
httpd-vhosts.conf File
#Dragon's Lair Laravel Project
<VirtualHost 127.27.18.28:80>
    ServerName dragonslair.test
    DocumentRoot "c:/laravelprojects/dragonslair/public"
    <Directory  "c:/laravelprojects/dragonslair/public/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require local
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>   

hosts File
#
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
192.168.10.10 dummyRegistration.test
127.27.18.28 dragonslair.test
::1 dragonslair.test   

IP Address Resolves Properly

Domain Name Redirect

I would presumably create many virtual hosts in future, and don't want to start having to memorise their IP addresses, which is why I want to get the DNS working properly.

 what is the result of- nslookup dragonslair.test? If you have no output you should set it (possible in- hostsfile)

 @RomeoNinov here's the output of- nslookup: i.imgur.com/cxMD67L.png. Apparently, "dragonslair.test" is not set. I am not sure how to set it, I provided an example of my hosts file, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
